This is one of those rare weekends that I was not looking forward to! I just saw off my Andhra University-Geophysics batch mate and good friend G. Sreenivasa Babu (GSB) at ABIA, after enjoying his company over a two-month period in Austin. I was very glad to see him again in Austin, after we parted about 18 years ago in pursuit of our careers.
In spite of his busy schedule, GSB graciously made time to visit us on most of the weekends. Rama and I tremendously enjoyed his company. We managed to do a variety of things together w/GSB like going to Barsana Dham for Sunday Bhajan, playing video games at Dave and Busters, hiking on Town Lake, attending International Gem and Jewelry Show, hanging out at Barnes and Noble book store, and having a memorable dinner at Benihana Sushi Bar yesterday.
I was looking forward to every weekend for the past two months, esp. because I could go to Room # 228 in Extended Stay America in Round Rock and hang out w/GSB.
Heard from GSB's team that due to their Austin Visit (training), the Oil and Natural Gas Commission of India is expected to save about $12 million per year over the next five years from reduction of outsourcing of Geophysical Well Logging at Mumbai Off-shore! Way to go folks! You are dearly missed in Austin!
